used this pedal in a pretty big gig, sound quality was great and at times I wanted to be louder, I could turn down the distortion and turn up the input, highly recommend

I've had a number of dirt pedals, and this is easily the best. Might as well throw the box out as this one's permanent on the board. It covers it all from simple boost, to OD tones, to nice and nasty. My poor Bad Monkey (fantastic in it's own right) doesn't get much use now, except to drive this box on solos or super grunge tones. If I turn the Strat down to about 7 this thing goes from nasty to luscious clean. Light picking on 10... same thing. I run it through a mod'd AC15c1 and it's just a thing of beauty.

best pedal ever!! It can turn any small combo amp in a full sounding stack. You can also turn down the distortion knob and it has just enough dirt to have the classic rock crunch.

This is the only pedal that i was interested in because my amp a vox Da20 with full gain sounds perfect, but trying to play def leppard is hard trying to switch between claen and distortion fast. This is the only pedal that has the same sound as my amp, and it's pretty rare because no other amps i've played have the sound as it. So it's amazing sound and for the price.

Great value for the price and doesn't dissapoint. Gives you a great tone on your distortion with out blocking out what your playing all together. My only complaint is when I use it with my 535Q crybaby on boost it lets ot a high pitched squeel that can be fixed with a few adjustments.

A killer pedal that not only helps you sound like the Rev. Billy G., but responds to your attack as well. A lot of pedal for the dough.
